Our members always look forward to an authentic Italian meal prepared by our chefs. We need volunteers for most of 2017. Please consider taking a month to prepare an entrée, side dish, dessert or the whole meal.
Please see Cindy Meale for details.

Members of UIS can sign in to the website to view the Food Prep Checklist for helpful hints for preparing enough food to feed your amici.

We had a very enjoyable Valentine Dance with good food, enjoyable music, and great company. The website has been updated with 43 ads from those who sponsored a table at the dance with their $25 donation to the UIS Scholarship Fund. Thanks to all who attended and those that donated gift baskets and other items to make the dance a success!

I am saddened to pass along the news that longtime UIS member Peppina Ottaviani, mother of Linda Gromen, passed away on Sunday. Her visitation will be held Friday, July 15, 2016 from 5:00-8:00 p.m. at the Gwen Mooney Funeral Home-Elden Good Chapel, 2620 Erie Ave in Hyde Park.

There is NO July meeting. Enjoy the holiday and we will see you on the 2nd of August.

Thanks to everyone who came out to the UIS Family Picnic this past Sunday and special thanks to the cooks, Dave Sabatelli and Earl Einhaus and the setup crew, Phil Sabatelli, Paul Wagner, Sandy Sabatelli and Rose Einhaus.

Since the departure of Fr. Earl Fernandes, Sacred Heart no longer says Mass in Italian, but the church still needs our support. The Italian groups have made the first Sunday of each month as ‘Italian Sunday’ at Sacred Heart Church and ask for your support at the 9:00 a.m. Mass those days.

The UIS Family Picnic Sunday, June 26th at Fernbank Park in Sayler Park.

Festivities start at noon and we have the park until 6:00 PM. We will provide the Italian sausage sandwiches with peppers and onions. Please bring a dish to share and your own drinks. It is a nice way to spend a Sunday afternoon with family, friends and good food.
